Dataset of mutational analysis, miRNAs targeting SARS-CoV-2 genes and host gene expression in SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 infections

The identification of host-miRNAs targeting mutated virus genes is crucial to understand the miRNA mediated host-defense mechanism in virus infections. To understand the mechanism in COVID-19 infections, we collected genome sequences of SARS-CoV-2 with its metadata from the GISAID database (submitte...

description The identification of host-miRNAs targeting mutated virus genes is crucial to understand the miRNA mediated host-defense mechanism in virus infections. To understand the mechanism in COVID-19 infections, we collected genome sequences of SARS-CoV-2 with its metadata from the GISAID database (submitted till April 2020) and identified mutational changes in the sequences. The dataset consists of genes with mutation event count and entropy scores. We predicted host-miRNAs targeting the genes in the genomes and compared it with that in related viral species. We have identified 2284 miRNAs targeting MERS genomes, 2074 miRNAs targeting SARS genomes, and 1599 miRNAs targeting SARS-CoV-2 genomes, identified using the miRNA target prediction software miRanda. The host miRNAs targeting SARS-CoV-2 genes were further validated to be anti-viral miRNAs and their role in respiratory diseases through a literature survey, which helped in the identification of 42 conserved antiviral miRNAs. The data could be used to validate the anti-viral role of the predicted miRNAs and design miRNA-based therapeutics against SARS-CoV-2.
